I love a good mystery, and the more abstract the investigation becomes (i.e. Twin Peaks and even The Killing) the better.

That’s why Rising Star Games’ Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cut will be the first PlayStation 3 title I’ve played in eons when it comes out April 26th.

Created by Hidetaka “Swery” Suehiro, the open world game centers on special agent Francis York Morgan’s attempts to solve a young girl’s murder in the apparently sleepy small town of Greenvale. During his journey, Morgan bumps into supernatural elements which does a number on his mental state, and one would assume the locals aren’t too emotionally balanced either.

Fans who pre-order the title from Amazon.com will receive an exclusive Field Ops suit that increases Morgan’s hit points and attack prowess. If you want to pre-order the game via GameStop, you’ll get an Espresso Suite which gives you stronger tolerance to hunger and exhaustion.

I never played the Xbox 360 version when it came out in 2010, but the trailer below, which has a nice mix of chills and a few bloody spills, has caught my attention. The game received strong reviews upon its initial release, and hopefully this thriller won’t disappoint.

Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think of Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cut.
